you no longer associate bridges (or rivers) with water.
you can say 113 degrees without fainting.
you eat hot chilies to cool your mouth off.
you've experienced condensation on your butt from the hot water in the toilet bowl.
you would give anything to be able to splash cold water on your face.
you can attend any function wearing shorts and a tank top.
The 4 seasons are: tolerable, hot, really hot, and ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!!
it's noon in July, kids are on summer vacation, and not one person is out on the streets.
no one would dream of putting vinyl upholstery in a car or not having air conditioning.
a sad Arizonan once prayed, "I wish it would rain - not so much for me, cuz I've seen it -- but for my 7-year-old."
Even in interviews today, Marianne (the actress) seems like a nice person.
Afterall, Marianne was a simple country girl.
See the diehards tonight.
'xactly!
Those are the two guys that don't smoke, right? Or is that another clip.
The winters are cool too--we aren't quite a cold as North Dakota, but it can stay in the single digits for days at a time.
"We expect a ransom note for our daughter's return soon," said Tom mistakenly.
"The exit is right there," Tom pointed out
"I used to own this gold mine!" Tom exclaimed.
"I don't like eating the last slice of the loaf" said Tom crustily
Your task is to guard this underwear," Tom's sergeant briefed them
The cat seems happy now that he's been fed," said Tom purposefully.
"My boat leaks", said Tom balefully.
"This round shape is so small, I have already examined it's entire outer edge," said Tom, a little circumspect.
"I need something to write with," said Tom pensively.
The age old question....Ginger or Maryann?
I have to say Maryann, following the sage wisdom of Rodney Dangerfield, who said, "Marry a woman who can cook. The sex will wear off but you'll always be hungry."
beer has caffeine in it too
Four strangers traveled together in the same compartment of a European train. Two men and two women faced each other. One woman was a very wealthy and sophisticated 70 year old lady who was decked out in the finest of furs and jewelry. Next to her Sat a beautiful young woman, nineteen years old--who looked like something right off the cover of a fashion magazine. Across from the older lady was a very mature looking man in his mid-forties who was a highly decorated Sergeant Major in the Army. Next to the Sergeant Major sat a young private fresh out of boot camp.
As these four strangers traveled, they talked and chatted about trivial things until they entered an unlighted tunnel, and there they sat in complete darkness and total silence, until the sound of a distinct kiss broke the silence; following the kiss a loud slap could be heard throughout the cabin.
In the ensuing period of silence the four strangers sat quietly with their own thoughts.
The older lady was thinking, "Isn't it wonderful that even in this permissive day and age there are still young women who have a little self-respect and dignity?"
The young woman, shaking her head and greatly puzzled, asked herself, "Why in the world would any man in his right mind want to kiss an old fossil like that when I'm sitting here?"
The Sergeant Major, rubbing his sore face, was outraged that any woman could ever think that a man in his position would try to sneak a kiss in the dark.
The private, grinning from ear to ear, was thinking, "What a wonderful world this is when a private can kiss the back of his hand and then smack a Sergeant Major in the face and get away with it!"
